Example 3: Scaling to convert inches to mm.
Occasionally an stl file may appear much smaller or much larger than designed. This is due to
the design software saving the units of measure as inches rather than millimeters; the Afinia 3D
software uses millimeters only, so a 1 inch model would appear as 1 millimeter.
This is simple to resolve using the following steps:
Windows Mac
1. Click Scale
2. Select or input 25.4 in the
text box
3. Click the Scale button
1. Select the Scale option
2. Input 25.4 in the text box
3. Click the Scale button
Conversely, if the model initially appears much too large, you can convert the size from millimeters
to inches by selecting (PC only) or entering 0.03937 into the text box and clicking the Scale button.
This does not actually convert the models measurements, just scales it in the selected direction.
Placing Models onto the Build Platform
Appropriately placing your models on the platform can have an effect on print quality.
TIP: In general, try to place your model in the center of the platform.
Auto Place
Click the Auto Place button, on the far right of the toolbar, to automatically place the model on the
platform. When there is more than one model on the platform, using Auto Place is
recommended.
Windows TIP: Check the Auto Place option in the File menu to automatically position the
model on the platform when the model file is opened.
By Hand (Windows)
Press the Ctrl key and choose the target model by pressing and holding the left mouse button.
Move the mouse and drag the model to the desired position.
Using the Move button
Click the Move button (Windows) or the Move parameter (Mac) on the toolbar, choose or input the
distance in the text box, and then choose the axis for the direction in which you want to move.
NOTE: When more than one model is open, the gap between each model should be kept to at
least 12mm to prevent the models sticking together.
